This station has been completely killing it all day. Nas to Lauryn Hill to Beastie Boys to Hov? Yes. YES.

Can you get the radio stations without paying for the monthly subscription? Also, if you do go with the monthly subscription, it includes iTunes Match, right?

Yes to both.

They did poach a load of BBC Radio 1 producers so it makes sense.

Looking at the playlist it looks like a Radio 1 evening show mixed in with a few 6music tracks. Its good that they're giving some exposure to upcoming acts as i imagine few people outside of the UK are aware of radio stations like this.

It's pretty great, I never listen to the radio normally because in the LA area it's basically a small selection of genre stations with a lot of commercials and the same hit songs.

I normally listen to my own music, podcasts, or talk radio. I think I'll give these radio stations a chance. I tried out iTunes radio when it debuted and the song selections weren't very good. I heard that was improved over time to become pretty good.

Day 1 wasn't bad.
 
nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say but nothing comes out when they move their lips just a bunch of gibberish and motherfuckers act like they forgot about dre

you should definitely check out radio 1 and radio 6 music from the BBC. They stream for free worldwide too - but I think the catchup is limited to UK only? So you'd have to listen live. Radio 1 has this kind of music from around 7pm most evenings (they have specialist programming too), and 6 music has this kind of stuff all the time. Ace station.
 
I wonder what Trent Reznor does at Apple HQ/Beats HQ. Does he have a cubicle? Does he go out to lunch at Applebee's?

edit: I know what he actually does at Apple, just wonder about the mundane stuff and what it's like as Nine Inch Nails one night and Apple Creative during the day.
 
So, is iTunes not coming today? And if not, can someone link me how to get to Beats 1 Radio in the old iTunes? I think I read that you can do that.

WTF Apple.

I said this earlier in the other thread, but I actually saw NIN perform The Downward Spiral front to back at a very small venue. One of the best shows of muh life.

Out now.
 
Loving this so far. So much variety to the music selection. Really playing a bit of everything. Love how each host puts their own touch on the station. Allows the show to not feel stale. Can't wait to hear Dre's hour on Saturday.

Go to "My Stations" in current iTunes. Click on the "+" icon then search for "Beats 1". It'll be available there!

Unless you're on Windows it should be out now.

Yeah, I am on windows. Sadly I never got an update on iTunes. Even when forcing an update check. Went to apples site, and it just says "coming soon".

EDIT:

I just added the station on my iTunes. Thanks for the heads up guys. Was hoping iTunes 12.2 would official drop today. But I guess it didn't for Windows dekstop or whatever.
 
Having a hard time trying to get Beats 1 to play on iOS 9 b2. Worked a few hours earlier, but never again. I press the "play now" button but it just doesn't start. The other stations work well.

Oh well.

edit: kinda fixed it. For those with the same problem wondering, just press the button a shitload of times until it works,

Try adding it to your iTunes Radio.

I was able to add beats 1 radio. I didn't know you could add it already. That was my fault. I guess you could add it earlier.

I just meant, I was also hoping that they would have updated iTunes for Windows, so I could start using the apple music portion too.

Where is this out? I'm getting nothing from checking for updates through iTunes and the iTunes website says "12.2 coming soon" on the download page.

I think people are confused. So Beats 1 radio has been out on iTunes for a while now. You could add it using the old iTunes. What we are talking about, is iTunes itself updating to 12.2 so we could use iTunes music too.

That said, this is the beats 1 radio thread. And they were just telling us how to manually add that now. iTunes 12.2 never came out today (or at least, it never came out for Windows).

Oh no, I mean the post I quoted said that iTunes 12.2 should be out for OSX users, most news sites are saying that too but I'm not able to update that's all.

Edit: Ugh, of course it's updated through the Mac App Store not iTunes itself. I knew I woke up too early this morning.
 
Oh man, I really screwed that up. Hah. I'm sorry. :(

Oh yessss.

Blink 182. Muh nostalgia.
 
I hope the request line actually fulfills a variety of requests and not just like "if you request something obscure we probably won't play it".
 
lol Jaden is pretty damn entertaining. Have to give him props.

EDIT:

I liked this song earlier. No idea who Royal Blood is.

I cannot wait until his show haha.

I am so happy you created this thread. I love how much community/ can emerge from Live Radio. I used to work at my Uni's radio station, and it was actually a really big radio station for an entire city.

So it's pretty amazing Apple created a live, human curated channel, and it's something we can all listen to together.
